You can almost make out this employee's stress-sweat in the story, told. This story's the stuff of fever dreams. My hands get clammy just trying to picture myself in his nightmarish scenario. 

Bloomberg's, Joe Nocera, asks the internet whether or not they think the rich really ever paid 90% of their income to the "taxman." Check out some of his findings that were shared on Twitter. The results might surprise you, or make total sense. It's a funny thing: people making a whole lot of money, can (key word being, "can") put up a long-drawn out fight to keep their money. These are some of those moments. 

It's a wildly shallow world and some people (are smart enough to) play along. 

These articles by their very design seem intended to piss people off, but we're still pissed off. As it turns out, this young go-getter has a whopping $43,000 put away, with $20K of that being in liquid assets. Maybe those charitable donations are a bit stingy after all...

These'll help you out more than words can express! 

This study comes in from the team at howmuch.net, and it was bound to make some waves. I mean, that's just what we're gathering based off the steady stream of outrage coming in from millennials that seem more aligned with having their salary in debt/loans by the time they're 30. 

Turns out having someone else pay for a sizable chunk of your sh*t is quite the viable strategy. Check out the original article that got Twitter's blood boiling over here!  

These people are dangerously in over their heads. 

This is accurate ENOUGH to be utterly terrifying. 

Some people will literally do ANYTHING for a few bucks. 

The Venmo news feed is a wildly entertaining place, rich in pettiness. 

Here's some nice sobering financial advice. Hooray. Thank you financial advice.

These people are recklessly cheap. What they might save in the way of actually paying for a damn dinner tab, they'll no doubt pay for in a bigger way further on down the road. 

Clear rent this month? How much Top Ramen we got stockpiled till the end of next pay period? These morbid little sentiments all ended up hitting way too close to home. 

Who could have known that when Yahoo Finance went to report on President-Elect, Donald Trump's plans to increase the size of the U.S. Navy, it would inspire such incendiary controversy. Albeit a complete mistake. But hey, a fail's a fail, and this one shot right to the top of 2017. So kudos to you Yahoo.
